== General Information ==
Template variables provide great flexibility when creating/managing the Auto Actions. Setup one Auto Action to trigger on multiple/all properties/rooms with the property specific details, using the [[Template Variables]]. This removes the need to duplicate your auto actions for each Property. Reducing the ongoing management, multiple copies of the same auto action will require you to edit/modify each auto action rather than update one auto action.
